Knife does not own Naruto or Percy Jackson, they belong to their respective Authors
Naruto looks up when he feels Hank land near the bay of San Francisco. Naruto quickly places his book into his pouch and jump down. Sadie sprouts her rainbow wings and floats down while Abby forms a platform out of water and carries down the rest of the demigods. Thalia is the last to jump down and begin to fall before her descent is slowed by her control over air. Almost as good as mine, Naruto says, referencing his unparalleled demigod Aerokinesis.
"Now what? We're in San Francisco, the worse place for demigods to be!" Percy says, remembering what Annabeth once told him.
"Are you kidding? San Fran is my home away from home!" Naruto says while subconsciously rubbing his forearm where his SPQR tattoo was.
"So what's the plan then?" Thalia asks her boyfriend who pauses.
"Uh...Jackson! What did you say the light bulb told you?" Naruto asks with a smile causing the sunlight to get a little brighter but dims when Naruto flips the bird toward the sky.
"To seek out Nereus" Percy says making Naruto raise an eyebrow.
"Nereus-sensei? Oh I know where he is" Naruto says before he begins walking toward the bay.
"Why did you call him sensei? Doesn't that mean teacher?" Thalia asks, remembering the limited japanese Naruto taught her.
"Because he and Abby's father trained us in how to control water" Naruto says making Abby raise a palm causing the moisture in the air to gather there in a small sphere while Percy just watches in awe. They walk into the bay to see dozens of homeless people sleeping there.
"Nereus can change shape, how can we tell him apart from everyone else?" Phoebe asks making Abby smile and pull out a large fang from her small purse, something that should be impossible.
"Nereus gave us a fang of Charybdis that will always point towards him" Abby says as she throws the fang into the air. The fang stops mid air and begins to spin like a compass before pointing at an elderly man at the end of the bay. They walk down there for the man to look up at them with sparkling blue eyes.
"Naruto, Abby, what are you doing here?" The man asks as he sits up.
"Nereus-sensei, we must ask you a question" Naruto says with a bow.
"Ah, why can't it be that my former students just visit me to say hi?" Nereus says as he cries fake tears.
"Who does that anymore? I would text you but you always lose the phones I get you" Abby says, a little peeved at her old master.
"Fine, what do you need?" Nereus asks.
"We need to know where is the General" Naruto says making the old sea deity scowl before closing his eyes for a few seconds.
"The General is where the Sky meets the Earth" Nereus says making Naruto and Zoe raise an eyebrow.
"Oh. That's an interesting place to hang out" Naruto says before bowing to his sensei.
"Thank you for your help, Nereus-sensei. I will be in San Francisco soon and we may hang out then" Naruto says as he stands up.
"I look forward to it" Nereus says before laying down and falling back asleep.
"Why is that an interesting place to hang out?" Percy asks as they begin to walk across the bay.
"The General spent the last few millennia holding the sky there" Naruto says making Percy and Thalia's eyes widen in shock at the revelation.
"The General is Atlas!" Percy yells making Zoe nod.
"Yes and the fact that he has been walking around means that someone else is holding the sky. We must hurry" Zoe says.
"What about the Ophiotaurus?" Phoebe asks.
"Hm, I forgot about that. Percy, could you do your Aquaman thing and try to locate it?" Naruto says before being hit by a wave that drenches but misses everyone else.
"Temperamental sea god…" Naruto mutters under his breath while Percy kneels by the water and puts a hand into the water. There is a pause before a strange sea serpent with a bull head appears out of the water.
"Mooo" The Ophiotaurus says.
"Hey it's Bessie!" Percy says making everyone raise an eyebrow.
"Bessie?" Phoebe asks the son of poseidon.
"You named the Ophiotaurus, the bane of Olympus, BESSIE!" Naruto says before he breaks out laughing.
"Yeah, look at her, she's so cute!" Percy argues making Naruto laugh even harder.
"I'm not even going to mention beastiality but you do know 'Bessie' is a boy?" Naruto asks the Son of Poseidon who blushes but Grover comes to his defense.
"He says he actually likes Bessie" Grover translates with a smile.
"Well then I take back the disbelief but not the beastiality comment" Naruto says making Percy roll his eyes at the comment and for Thalia to punch him in the back of the head.
"How can you be a Sadist and a Masochist at the same tim-THE UNBORN CHILDREN!" Naruto comments to his girlfriend only to kicked in the balls and fall to the floor.
"Now what?" Sadie asks.
"We have to get onto Mount Tamalpais, Zoe?" Abby asks the lieutenant of the Hunters who gasps in shock.
"How did thou know?" Zoe asks the blue haired girl who just smiles.
"I read, a lot and I thought your story sounded familiar" Abby says making Zoe scowl. She then explains that she was once an immortal nymph but lost her immortality when she helped a demigod who she would not name. She explains that the Hesperides were the nymphs of the sunset and their garden was only available then.
"We only have about 45 minutes to get into the Garden!" Thalia proclaims making everyone nod.
"What about Bessie?" Percy asks making Grover look down at his hooves and begin to fidget.
"Well...Um...I could…you know" Grover offers.
"You could take Bessie to Poseidon for safe keeping" Naruto says as he stands up after performing several healing ninjutsus on his...manly parts to make sure they were okay.
"If-if it's for the best of the team…" Grover stammers out.
"He would need a prayer" Phoebe says making Naruto turn towards Percy who was petting Bessie.
"I'm sure a pair of gauntlets that can shatter stone from his only demigod son would be appreciated" Naruto says, pointing at the gloves on Percy's hands.
"They could do that?" Percy mutters as he takes them off and hands them to Naruto. Naruto then faces Grover and looks him dead in the eyes.
"You sure about this Grover?" Naruto asks the young satyr who looks nervous but takes a deep breath to steady his nerves.
"Yes" Grover says making Naruto nod and throw the gloves into the sea with a prayer.
"Be careful" Percy says before giving the satyr a bro hug while unbeknownst to them, the girls of Camp Half Blood were shipping the two of them together.
"I will" Grover says before jumping into the ocean with Bessie and they seemed to be disappear in the ocean, hopefully Percy's dad was helping Grover...with like breathing and stuff.
"We now have 30 minutes to get across the entire city of San Francisco!" Sadie points out making everyone pause to think before a literal lightbulb forms above Naruto's head.
"I have an idea, don't puke" Naruto says as he focuses and turns them all into light particles like he does to himself daily.
In less than 10000th of a second, the group reforms in front of the Mount Tamalpais and immediately all of them double over and begin coughing.
"Good, you guys didn't puke! I puked the first couple times but I was 7 so-OW!" Naruto says before being punched in the gut by Thalia.
"Asshole" Thalia says as she catches her breath.
"Hey I got us here fast!" Naruto argues.
"We must hurry" Zoe says as they rush into the mountain.
"Why does everything smell like cough drops?" Percy asks as he stares at the large trees around them.
"Eucalyptus" Sadie says as they walk.
"The thing that koala bears eats?" Percy asks.
"And dragons" Naruto says.
"Dragons?" Percy asks with bewilderment.
"If you had dragon breath, you would chew eucalyptus" Zoe points out.
"Percy knows, have you smelled his breath? It's a wonder Annie still hangs out around you" Naruto says making Percy punch him in the shoulder.
"Dost thou wish to awaken Ladon?" Zoe says to keep them quiet. Everyone looks ahead to see a large tree with golden apples whose fragrance promised the most delicious treat ever. Naruto would have rushed up to pick one if it were not for the giant dragon. The serpent's body was as thick as a booster rocket, glinting with coppery scales.
He had more heads than Naruto could count, as if a hundred deadly pythons had been fused together and appeared to be asleep. The heads lay curled in a big spaghetti-like mound on the grass, all the eyes closed. Then the shadows in front of the group began to move. There was a beautiful, eerie singing, like voices from the bottom of a well.
Four figures shimmered into existence, four young women who looked very much like Zoe. They all wore white Greek chitons. Their skin was like caramel. Silky black hair tumbled loose around their shoulders.
"Sisters" Zoe says.
"We do not see any sister," one of the girls says coldly.
"We see but 5 half-bloods and 2 Hunter. All of whom shall soon die." Another girl says before stopping when she feels cold steel at her throat. Naruto had disappeared in a flash and reappeared with both of his short swords at her throat.
"Listen lady, we don't have the time to listen to your eventual monologue so get out of the way" Naruto says.
"Naruto Uzumaki, they said thee was a threat" One of the other hesperide says making Naruto grin widely.
"Ah, that's sweet!" Naruto says before his eyes change to the Tengan and the temperature drops by at least 10 degrees.
"Get. The. Hell. Out. Off. The. Way!" Naruto says making the Hesperides hesitate and move out of the way.
"No one has yet to get by Ladon" One of the Hesperides say making Naruto just roll his eyes.
"Whatever you say" Naruto says as they walk past the nymphs who disappear.
"It's me, my little dragon," Zoe said.
"Zoe has come back." Ladon shifted forward, then back. Some of the mouths closed. Some kept hissing. Meanwhile, the Hesperides shimmered and turned into shadows.
"Fool", The voice of the eldest whispered.
"I used to feed thee by hand," Zoe continued, speaking in a soothing voice as she stepped toward the golden tree.
"Do you still like lamb's meat?" The dragon's eyes glinted. Zoe steps forward and that is when the shit hit the fan.
"Kit! Get her out of there!" Kurama yells at his partner making Naruto instinctively react as he felt the mood swing himself. He disappears in a flash, grabs Zoe and disappear in another flash just in time to dodge the lunge of a head at Zoe.
"I got this! You guys move back!" Naruto yells making everyone hesitate but listen to Naruto.
"Kurama?" Naruto asks his partner in the bracelet.
"Let's do this!" Kurama yells as orange energy bursts from the nine kanji in his bracelet. Kurama forms into a orange kitsune with nine tails that is the same size as Ladon. Kurama lunges at Ladon who attempts to bite him but the fox just ignites his skin in golden flames that makes Ladon roar and back off.
"Kurama! Hold him down! I have an idea!" Naruto yells making the large fox nod and shoots his nine tails at the dragon. The tails strike Ladon in the chest and knock the large dragon onto it's back, giving Naruto enough time to appear on top of Ladon in a flash.
"Crystal Release- Crimson Fruit!" Naruto yells as he slams palm onto Ladon causing him to be encapsulated in clear crystal except for his eyes allowing Naruto to look into the eyes of his primary head.
"Kotoamatsukami!" Naruto yells as a mangekyo sharingan appears in his eyes. The symbol then appears on all of Ladon's 200 eyes and the dragon stops snarling. Kurama jumps off and Naruto retracts the crystal.
"Impossible, Ladon is...docile" Zoe says, shock creeping into her voice.
"I'm very good at the impossible" Naruto says with a grin before walking up to the hundred headed dragon.
"Ladon, please continue protect this tree but do not bother my group" Naruto says making the dragon nod all hundred of its heads before going back guarding the tree.
"Let's go guys" Naruto says as they continue up the mountain.
"How did you do that?" Percy asks, one second the dragon was trying the kill them, the next it was docile.
"It's one of the stronger thing I can do with these eyes. I rewrote part of his personality so that he would not attack us but still be vigilant of others" Naruto says as they reach the summit which is covered in mist.
"Now what?" Thalia asks causing Naruto to crack a grin.
"Now, we fight a Titan" Naruto says as the mist clears to reveal Luke and Atlas but to their right is a shocking thing. Holding the sky is 3 girls, one who is obviously Artemis, goddess of the moon. One is a silver-eyed girl with black hair dressed in a black blouse and a skirt with red trimmings, complete with a red cloak. The other girl is a bit taller and has flowing red hair that is the color of fire that mixes well with her bright green eyes and fair skin. She is wearing a white crop top, jean short shorts and black leather ankle high boots. As soon as Naruto sees the two girls beside Artemis, the temperature drops 15 degrees.
The Tengan returns Naruto's eyes before it slowly begins to morph, his eyes turn black and a red magical seal forms on top of it. black energy erupts from his body. The energy erupts into the sky, shooting at least 30 feet into the air before solidifying into samurai armor. A face forms with a long tengu nose, a slit for the mouth and 3 holes on each cheek. At his waist was a daisho while going across his back were a pair of kama and a gunbai. The construct stares at the demigod and Titan who could do nothing but stare in fear. The samurai does nothing until it says only one thing,
"Die"
Hey Guys Knife Here! Sorry for the short chapter but I felt like this is a good place to finish it off. We're almost done with Titan's Curse! I personally hated the 4th book and if I tried to write it, I feel like it would suck. As such, I decided that Naruto and a few other people will be taking a visit to our friends in San Francisco! How will Camp Jupiter react to seeing their former praetor once more?
Also shoutout to Kuroisenkou! He's a great writer with a bunch of good Naruto stories that I'm sure you guys will like.
Okay that's it, until we meet again! Knife out PEACE!
